NGOs now want Southern African Development Community and the African Union to facilitate a national dialogue, something President Emmerson Mnangagwa is reportedly calling for.

Mnangagwa is saying the protests were violent and led to the destruction and looting of public property - and while he's promising to hold rogue military and police accountable, there have been some doubts about whether this will happen.
